 The Lighthaven Campus is open for bookings 

 by habryka 30th Sep 2023 Linkpost for www.lighthaven.space 5 min read 18 210

 Lightcone Infrastructure (the organization that grew from and houses the LessWrong team) has just finished renovating a 7-building physical campus that we hope to use to make the future of humanity go better than it would otherwise.

 We're hereby announcing that it is generally available for bookings. We offer preferential pricing for projects we think are good for the world, but to cover operating costs, we're renting out space to a wide variety of people/projects.

 How do I express interest?

  What kinds of things can I run here?

 Team Retreats (15-80 people) We offer cozy nooks with firepits, discussion rooms with endless whiteboards, plus lodging. The space is very modular, and we can put up walls and dividers that will separate out your own private section of the campus.
 
 Parties & Events ( 10 - 500 people) From private dinners to 500 person parties. Sound setup, music, use of private kitchens, snacks/catering.
 
 Conferences (50-600 people) 20+ session spaces and lodging for up to 80 attendees.
 
 Lodging (10 - 80 people usually) We have 45 bedrooms sleeping up to 80 people that can be booked together with or independently from events.
 
 Other You could host all kind of things here, like choir rehearsals, dinners, LARPing, etc.
 
 What does it cost?

 We determine pricing on a case-by-case basis, but a good approximation is $100 - $250 per person per day for retreats conferences and $25 - $75 per person for parties. 

 We offer some groups large discounts (including free), if we think what you are doing makes the world better. Do really reach out to us if price is an issue. We will often be able to work something out.

 You can use your own caterer, or we can provide catering. Our default caterer offers meals from $20/meal to $50/meal that most visitors have found decently satisfying.

 We engage in some price discrimination. If we think your best alternative to our venue would be much more expensive, we may charge more than our listed price. We try to find a fair price that splits the difference between our own costs and the value you get out of the space.

 We also provide more bespoke services, for an additional charge (see below). Overall we try to be reasonable about pricing, and don't expect to make much profit on the space.

 What do other people say about the space?
